Anna Fox lives alone - a recluse in her New York City home, unable to venture outside. She spends her day drinking wine (maybe too much), watching old movies, recalling happier times...and spying on her neighbors. Then the Russells move into the house across the way: a father, mother, their teenaged son. The perfect family. But when Anna, gazing out her window one night, sees something she shouldn't, her world begins to crumble. And its shocking secrets are laid bare.

Surprising -- not so much the book as the reviews!

Publisher's Summary

National Book Award Winner!

Perfect for fans of NBC's This Is Us, Robin Benway's beautiful interweaving story of three very different teenagers connected by blood explores the meaning of family in all its forms - how to find it, how to keep it, and how to love it.

Being the middle child has its ups and downs.

But for Grace, an only child who was adopted at birth, discovering that she is a middle child is a different ride altogether. After putting her own baby up for adoption, she goes looking for her biological family, including:

Maya, her loudmouthed younger bio sister, who has a lot to say about their newfound family ties. Having grown up the snarky brunette in a house full of chipper redheads, she's quick to search for traces of herself among these not-quite-strangers. And when her adopted family's long-buried problems begin to explode to the surface, Maya can't help but wonder where exactly it is that she belongs.

And Joaquin, their stoic older bio brother, who has no interest in bonding over their shared biological mother. After 17 years in the foster care system, he's learned that there are no heroes, and secrets and fears are best kept close to the vest, where they can't hurt anyone but him.

Don't miss this moving novel that addresses such important topics as adoption, teen pregnancy, and foster care.

A delightful suprise

Far From The Tree

When you are a part of the family of adoption, how do you heal that missing part? Sure you love your family. Grace loves the baby she placed with a great family. Joachim has lived his whole life in foster care and Mia who does not look like anyone in her family. A page turning YA book that is honest and open. Important read.

A must read!

This was a beautiful book about the realities of life, family, and love. It doesn’t matter where you have come from or the path you are taking, this book will speak to you in one way or another. Beautifully written.

It hit home

true to the experience

I worked inn the field of child welfare for 40 years, and I gave a child up for adoption. This writer has captured the essence of those experiences in a very realistic way and it evoked both sad and happy emotions in me. Great job.
